Self-similar network traffic using Successive Random Addition (SRA) algorithm / Hani Hamira Harun

Self-similar traffic has an underlying dependence structure which exhibits long-range
dependence. This is in contrast to classical traffic models, such as Poisson, which
exhibit short-range dependence. Self-similar traffic may also exhibit short-range
dependence, but this is on its own insufficient to accurately parametric the traffic.
Studying self-similar traffic requires models for analytical work and generators for
simulation. Having generating algorithms that close to reflect real traffic is important
as they allow us to perform simulations that are similar to the real network traffic.
Without this, the results from simulations would not accurately reflect the results that
would be expected in the real world. In this project, we have used the Successive
random algorithm (SRA). Then, we have decided to use Variance time plot and R/S
statistics as our statistical analysis tools. We have test the sample path between
0.5<H<1. After we test on the SRA algorithm, we found that the results are not
accurate. But compares to RMD, the SRA samples result be more accurate. In term
data generation, SRA be slower than dFGN.
